Austin Shows Mercy Over Seattle

The Austin Gilgronis (10-2) continued their tear through Major League Rugby’s  Western Conference with a 17-6 victory over the Seattle Seawolves (6-6).  Austin extends their winning streak to five matches and increases their conference race lead to 9-points. 

As one-sided as the score was, it could have been worse.  Austin had three trys called back for penalties, and heavy second half substitution made for lack-luster play. 

Seattle’s only points came on penalty goals. 

Hugh Roach opened the scoring with a try in the 26th minute.  Mark O’Keefe added a penalty try in the 35thminute.  Isaac Ross earned man-of-the-match honors for his continued disruption of the Seawolves linesouts.
